NYU’s Washington, DC Academic Center is seeking a local, part-time lecturer to teach an undergraduate economics course, “China's Economic Transition.”

The course is expected for Spring 2025 (late January to mid May). The class meeting pattern will be discussed with qualified applicants during the interview process. In addition to the time required for course preparation, classroom instruction, and assessment, the instructor is required to hold a minimum of one set 60-minute office hour per instruction day, during which the instructor will be available to meet with students.

The instructor role includes all preparation, delivery, and grading. Using Washington, DC as a learning tool (e.g., a guest speaker, an excursion) is an expectation for the course. Courses are to be intellectually challenging in content, and rigorous student assessment is required. We are especially interested in qualified candidates who share NYU Washington, DC’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and who can contribute to the diversity of intellectual life at our site. NYU is committed to providing a campus community that reflects and enacts the values of inclusion, diversity, belonging, and equity that inform academic excellence.

Course Description:

The course introduces the key institutional and economic reforms in China since 1978, and their contributions to China’s economic development. It examines all of the pivotal sectors, including agriculture, industry, banking, and international trade, as well as considering the Chinese economy's efficiency and productivity as a whole. The course helps students to understand current challenges to China creating sustainable growth, including demography, state-owned enterprises, and debt.
